Time 20m

Yield 8 small pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ounces pizza dough
Flour, for rolling surface
Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup basil pesto
2 cups ricotta cheese, preferably whole milk
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill, or heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat.
  • Roll the pizza dough into 8 small pizzas, each about 1/8-inch thick and 3 inches round.
  • Lightly brush both sides of the pizzas with oil. Grill the pizzas over medium heat until the first side is nicely browned and firm to the touch, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the pizzas over on the grill. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of pesto on each pizza, spreading it to the edges. On top of each pizza, spoon 4 teaspoons of ricotta cheese, in little balls. Cook the pizzas until the ricotta just begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes from the moment you turned the pizzas. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top of each pizza. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve warm.

This grilled pizza is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I used some leftover grilled chicken and vegetables, and it turned out great.

I'm not a big fan of grilled pizza, but this recipe changed my mind. The crust was crispy and the toppings were flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.

The ricotta and pesto combination is a classic for a reason. It's so creamy and flavorful. The grilled crust gives it a nice crispy texture.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, so I substituted a garlic-herb sauce instead. The pizza was still delicious, and I'm sure it would be even better with pesto.

The pizza was good, but I found the crust to be a bit too crispy for my taste. I think I'll try grilling it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I followed the recipe closely, but I added some extra vegetables to the topping. I used sliced zucchini, red onion, and bell peppers. The pizza was even more delicious with the added veggies.
